DO-IT-YOURSELF SHAVING CREAM – RECIPE

After trying countless shavings creams I have come to the conclusion that when a shaving cream claims they are suited for sensitive skin it’s a bunch of bull. I have sever dry skin. I go through some serious itch fest the day after shaving. It makes me pretty miserable. Since I have an unhealthy amount of coconut oil and raw shea butter sitting around I decided to take control of this annoying issue and make my own.

Transfer mixture to a medium-sized bowl or any size jar and place in the fridge until it’s solid.

Remove from fridge and get ready to whip it up. If it’s in a jar you’ll need to transfer it to a medium-sized bowl first. Whip using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Scrape sides down as needed. Whip until fluffy ~ about 5-6 minutes depending on how cold your mixture is – then add castile soap and whip until fully combined.

Spoon shaving cream into an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place.

Notes

If you do end up getting water into the shaving cream it might not last long since it doesn’t have any preservatives in it.

I’ve been shaving with a lame bar of soap for the longest but this cream sounds like it’s so good for your skin. The idea of it having coconut oil in it sounds absolutely perfect to me. Ooooh great job, Simera!!!

That’s a very nice recipe! I also have dry skin and after shaving my legs may itch, though I don’t shave often because I have very few hair on my legs; it takes 2 weeks to have a little bit to shave, but still, I have to 🙂 Loved the recipe, coconut oil seems to be the answer for many things! Hope you have a nice day!

This is actually a really great recipe. Love all the natural ingredients and your skin is bound to be soft after shaving. I actually love using coconut oil after I shave; it’s quite amazing. I may have to give this DIY a try. x
